Are any Dem leaders supporting Feingold?
I'm sorry for the ignorant question, but I boycott the corporate media. That has it's good side and its bad side, as some of you know. I miss a lot sometimes. But I love what I'm reading about Feingold on all the sites I visit, and on DU. He is my new hero.

Are the other Dem leaders supporting him? Visibly? Vocally? There is strength in numbers, as most people learn by junior high school. I hope the Dems learn soon.

I'm calling my senators, Boxer and Feinstein, to demand that they stand with Feingold against this blatant outrage. Please do the same.

In fact, shouldn't this be a DU activist corps priority? Just saying.

1. durbin. Boxer. Byrd.
I don't know about clinton, reid or Obama.

Sununu (R) supports his position on the patriot act.

2. Thanks
Do you know if any of them have been on the airwaves besides Feingold? I have only read about Feingold, and I refuse to watch the corporate media.

3. Do you mean other than the Senators
who voted against cloture? It seems that the vast majority of Dem Senators, except for two, stood strongly with Feingold. Senator Byrd made a very empassioned speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday. It seems that he was standing very tall with Feingold.

4. I was thinking in a PR sense
Who is out there doing the cable shows besides Feingold? I've only heard about him. There could be others, but since I don't watch, I don't know. It's just seems to me we should be presenting a visibly united front at this crucial time. Feingold should not be standing out there all alone. The average murikan does not watch c-span, unfortunately.
